tony iommi talks about his riffs and how he constructs solos and play both




Also, if you're wondering, "What's on his fingers?" it's because when Tony was 17 years old he was working in a sheet metal factory. On his last day of work, just before he was about to tour Europe with the band "The Birds & The Bees", a machine in the factory cut the tips off of his 2 middle fingers on his fretting hand. Rather than giving up playing he made his own fake finger tips and adopted a new technique of playing using mainly his index finger and pinky. So that is what you're seeing, his prosthetic fingertips.
